Meeting the Growing Demand for Nurse Practitioners

Think there’s a big demand for nurse practitioners now? Experts say the need for advanced practice providers is only going to increase. With an aging population, a nationwide physician shortage, and expanded access to healthcare, the demand for comprehensive primary and specialty care is rising across the United States. As a leading nurse practitioner staffing agency, we help medical organizations like yours keep up with demand. 

Nurse practitioners (NPs) are essential in helping ease the healthcare burden, especially in areas with limited physician access. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, NP employment is projected to grow by 45%, much faster than the average for other occupations.

Why Choose Locum Tenens Nurse Practitioners?

NPs are trained to provide affordable, accessible care and can manage routine cases in underserved areas, giving physicians more time for complex procedures. It’s no surprise that the fastest-growing specialties for NPs include:

  • Primary Care
  • Behavioral Health
  • Geriatrics
  • Oncology

Locum tenens nurse practitioners contract with hospitals, health systems, and private practices to fill temporary gaps in care. Assignments may last weeks, months, or even years, depending on your needs. Whether covering for maternity leave or bridging the gap during a permanent search, locum NPs ensure continuity of care and consistent patient outcomes.
